The 'Sweep' App Offers Access to Secret Chats in Your Area
Michael Hemsworth — February 1, 2018 — Tech
Social media is evolving to focus less on a structured network where users have to know one another directly to interact, which is seeing new solutions like the 'Sweep' app come about.
The app works by allowing users to unlock hidden chats that are in their area or community to let them chat with new people that they might not otherwise interact with. This could start conversations on a variety of topics including favorite restaurants, the best spot to find a party or whatever else you can think of.
The 'Sweep' app focuses on a randomized operation to keep users interested in what's happening and continuously using the platform to connect with other people who are also looking for a new way to meet new personalities.
